"Amazing" Airplane Sex

British actor Ralph Fiennes was on a Qantas flight from Darwin, Australia, to Mumbai, India, where he intended to promote AIDS awareness and safe sex, when he engaged in unsafe fuselage sex with a flight attendant, Lisa Robertson. The episode became known when reported by Ms. Robertson's fellow flight attendants. Qantas fired her today.

Fiennes claimed that the 38-year-old flight attendant was the "sexual aggressor" and Robertson admitted as much. She "felt like a teenager after gushing at the 44-year-old actor" and "melted" as they began to kiss. She then dragged him into the toilet, locked the door and engaged in ten minutes of "amazing" sex.

Apparently, Ms. Robertson told Qantas officials a different story, claiming that Fiennes forced himself on her. Fiennes' spokeswoman Sara Keene responded by stating that Ms. Robertson did the forcing and actually seduced him. Ms. Robertson contacted Fiennes afterward for help in saving her job. He refused.

"He made me feel like a low-life, like I was asking him for money or something," she said.

Regarding Robertson's co-workers reporting the incident, Graham Robertson, Lisa's father, stated the fellow attendants were "probably ugly as a hatful of arseholes and were just jealous" and, thereby, adopting a shoot-the-messenger defense for his daughter's actions.

Ms. Robertson has retained celebrity lawyer Harry M. Miller to sell her story. Woman's Day magazine announced that it has purchased Australian print rights and will publish an interview with Robertson today.

In another result from the incident, Ralph Fiennes is now being called an "AIDS hypocrite" for having unprotected sex prior to visiting AIDS-ravaged villages in India. It's also worth noting that Ms. Robertson's recollection of the incident may not be easily understood by the average commercial airline traveler. Most, in my opinion, would consider any sex on an airplane to be "amazing."
